Using the woman's toothbrush, one of those vibrating or spinning things. It feels like I'm actually at the dentist's office. ME: This is a good (edited to protect the tender sensibilities of manchildren)ing toothbrush. HER: It should be. It cost $150. ME: ...whut? HER: I put a ton of money into my t...

I can answer as to the politicians: They're pandering, of course. We do have quite a lot of fundamentalists who appreciate hearing those things said, and so they are indeed said. It's mostly on the conservative side, to curry votes, but practically any politician finds it advantageous to say that th...

It's really hard to say what makes a good Christian, since I'm not one. Language is a non-issue to me, and there's a long list of Old Testament material that is just plain self-evidently ethically wrong (and damn the argument that we're living in a different time, that didn't do a bunch of slaves an...

The one thing I absolutely despise about writing resumes is the objective field. If at all possible, I avoid it. But I'm using a format in resumizer.com's selection that looks really naked without one, going straight from personal info to skills. So I need an objective, the worst kind of ten dollar ...

I believe I've noted before, but to be safe: Casino arcades > Dave & Busters. To help parents ignore their kids, casinos crank up the value. We found the multi-screen, six player X-Men brawler set to give nine lives per quarter. The casino proper was ignored as we flipped the game several times on a...

LA is apparently too cool for applications as all the places I tried applying to requested a resume, including the frozen yogurt place. WHAT? "I am prepared to exploit my core competencies by standing behind the tip jar like a douchebag while the customers self-serve from the machines and the toppin...

PaTaank was sickening at the worst of times, somewhat enjoyable at the best. Could have used more dev time, certainly. Intererestingly the announcer was a comedian called Tree who I had seen doing stand-up years before. He was a huge, bald bruiser who wore a leather biker jacket. He also played Ludm...

Ah, no, we don't have those per se. Any illegal immigrants stupid enough to apply for benefits will have one of two things happen: 1. Back to Mexico, even if you're not from there. 2. You get benefits and have to go in once a month to pay a bribe to your case worker or it's back to Mexico. This is a...

I'm considering how each action plays out. Nothing is worse than lazy hack writing like Mass Effect, where the net result of any scenario is a good/bad slider increment and you're done with that part of the game forever, no repercussions. Now take Space Rogue. Faction rep matters. I played as a pira...

Follow InterStel protocol to become a paragon amongst officers... or let those space pirates go and collect your weekly graft. Glory, riches, or a court martial for the careless await. *Know your crew members. Each one has a distinct personality and can come to respect or despise you based on dialog...

Since I'm tired of typing with a d-pad I'm going to imagine a box blurb and write actual details later. The InterStel Alliance is struggling. A powerful force is preying on member races. Petty squabbles threaten to pull the Alliance apart. Ships are vanishing. It's your job to lead your crew and sav...
